Hydrodynamic instabilities in active cholesteric liquid crystals
Carl A. Whitfield, Tapan Chandra Adhyapak, Adriano Tiribocchi +3
We describe the basic properties and consequences of introducing active stresses, with principal direction along the local director, in cholesteric liquid crystals. The helical gro…
Instabilities, motion and deformation of active fluid droplets
Carl A. Whitfield, Rhoda J. Hawkins
We consider two minimal models of active fluid droplets that exhibit complex dynamics including steady motion, deformation, rotation and oscillating motion. First we consider a dro…
Immersed Boundary Simulations of Active Fluid Droplets
Carl A. Whitfield, Rhoda J. Hawkins
We present numerical simulations of active fluid droplets immersed in an external fluid in 2-dimensions { using} an Immersed Boundary method to simulate the fluid droplet interface…
